I just want to start off with saying this was my first major RP personality. I am rather sad to finally be putting him to rest. This first post will be a summery of how I made him, where his roots are, and some of the changes he went through on his evolution.
Every post following this one will be Durin's Story of his greater adventures, his loves, and his losses. This will take me a rather long time to do though as like Lady Fireflyer, this has been my character for well over 5 years.
Durin began under a different name, when I first started online, I couldn't even think of a name for him. Durin Stormweaver began as SportsAddict, in the game of RaceWarKingdoms. I believe I was 16 at the time, I had written a few short stories, most my Roleplays had been Pen and Paper...the DnD kind.
RWK really introduced me to what would soon become a hobby obsession. This character was unpolished, had little background (I hadn't even thought of one) and no real idea of self. I made a few friends, some lasted, some I lost to find again later, and others that I found out really weren't much of friends. Nevertheless, all RWK is going to get is a passing mention, I had a lengthy stay there, but Durin never really evolved much, he was there, but not very stable.
Then the white "Stress Test" screen appeared on RWK, The game was down indefinitely. This almost ended my real time RPing, however instead I picked up Durin and started building his history, giving him depth, flushing the character out. I was either just finished, or had already finished, when one of the few people who I still remained in contact with from RWK told me of Shimlar.
This is where Durin really started to grow, I met several new people (most RP mods at the time lol) and began to have a lot of fun. Some, but not all of the old crew that I began to develop Durin with are Thomas Covenant, Euphoric Ghost, Wolf, Lady Fireflyer, Lady Firestarter, Irish Drinker, and Clerity. These people all had a hand in how Durin turned out, and while some of them may not be mentioned hereafter in the story, I still give them silent thanks for all they did.
It was while RPing with Wolf, that Toshax happened to see the RP and loved it, offering me RP Modship. I stayed a part of the Shimlar community as a mod for several years after before saying a farewell and moving on for a couple years.
After having returned to Shimlar for around 4 Months, when the white screen of death returned again, I felt it was fitting that I lay Durin to Rest with it, and Carry on the RP story as his Son Rheavon. Well Thats it for now. Soon I will begin post Durin's story in Chapters, Till then.
*Dips his head in silent prayer, resting his hand on the gravestone*
